2027 Kids Program – Fall & Winter
Train like a triathlete year round
Our Kids Fall & Winter Program is designed for athletes who want to grow their fitness and develop strength in swimming, biking, and running, while also building confidence in a supportive team environment.
This program runs from October 17th to April 10th, and is targeted at youth aged 8 –15 years (born 2011–2018), to develop fitness and strength for all three sports.
Saturday sessions take place at Pan Am Pool from 9:30 to 11:30 am. Athletes will begin with a run focused workout on the upstairs indoor track, followed by swim training in the Main Tank pool.
Registration for Saturday sessions is $200 for the six months.
Annika Niblock and Darian Hole will continue as the program’s primary coaches.
Darian Hole is a graduate of the MTC Program who represented Team Manitoba at the 2013 Canada Summer Games, and has been Mission Staff for the 2023 and 2025 Canada Games. He brings forward a wealth of experience and knowledge from years in sport.
Annika Niblock is a graduate of the TriMB Youth and MTC Programs and has most notably competed at the 2019 Western Canada Summer Games. She brings five years of youth coaching experience and a welcoming and positive energy to each practice.
Our coaches are keen to help the next generation of athletes fall in love with triathlon by sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm for our sport.
NOTE – While this program will help athletes develop better swim technique, it’s not intended to be a learn-to-swim program. All athletes should be able to comfortably complete 50m of steady swimming (enough to access the deep end in most local pools) before beginning the program.
A 2027 Triathlon Manitoba membership must be purchased with each Kids Program Registration, which provides insurance for all workout participants, as well as a racing licence for the season ahead. The Kids of Steel memberships are $15, plus CCN processing fees.

2026 Swim Stroke Development Clinic
Swimming Harder Can Make You Slower.
Swimming Better Makes You Fast!
Registration will open soon for our 2026 Swim Stroke Development Program, designed to help triathletes refine technique, build efficiency, and gain confidence in the water.
Coached sessions will take place once a week on Monday OR Wednesday evenings, from 8-9 pm at the Pan Am Pool (in parallel with our regular Swim Program). Athletes will be given a second workout to complete on their own each week, reinforcing the coached lessons and facilitating the desired progression throughout the program.
Athletes will receive on-deck training from experienced coaches. The clinic will run for 8 sessions – starting the week of October 19th with the last session being held the week of December 7th. The program will include video capture sessions, enabling athletes to receive direct feedback on their stroke mechanics and the improvements they make throughout the program.
Target Audience:
– Athletes with prior experience of triathlon swimming/racing, likely those who learned to swim as adults and looking to gain efficiency in their swimming
(Our Intro to Triathlon Swimming will run again in Jan-Mar 2027 for newbies)
(If you don’t already have a pair, our coaches recommend this shorter style)

The whole course consists of Part 1 and Part 2. Coaches will need to complete both parts to be qualified. Part 1 includes the module “Coaching Beginners and Age Group Triathletes.” Part 2 contains the modules Coaching and Assessing Triathlon Skills and Coaching to Events and is delivered a two-day, in-person course. During Part 2, coaches will lead the mini-activities they planned in Part 1.
The outcomes of the NCCP Community Triathlon Coach program are:
- Make Ethical Decisions
- Provide Support to Athletes in Training
- Plan a Practice
- Analyze Performance
- Support the Competitive Experience
